And the husband had some significant criminal issues in his 20’s and 30’s, 20 years ago now.

That is just the criminal penalty, then you could have civil liabilities on top of that.

Criminal Charges are on the menu for Maumee landlords. 

For a light rehab, I can get everything picked out in 90-minutes and out type of fence material and style, deck shape, wood type and style, cabinets, interior and exterior paint colors, curb appeal, hardwood stain color, front door style, etc. 

It sounds criminal as you weren't aware of anything.

That there could be criminal action and possible jail if someone does this?  

I have been using tenantreports.com - options for different packages (credit, criminal. eviction as you choose), plus options for the applicant to input the information or the landlord to input the information.

They also allow you to choose from several screening options, such as - credit, criminal and eviction; based on your preferences. 

And even then if he did something criminal then insurance and asset protection are not going to help him.. you can't put an LLC in jail.

I suspect they’re fairly poor at the moment (I realize that everyone makes their own choices in life), but adding a criminal record if it can be avoided seems unnecessary.
